So, new day. Today is a little better. I woke up crying, but things are going to be fine and they are going to get better. I feel bad about using my blog as an outlet but sometimes I have really bad days. Just like everyone else.
Today I got to spend the day with my grandpa. My grandma was sleeping when I got over there and we didn’t want to wake her, and she didn’t wake up. So my grandpa and I talked and at lunch together and it was really nice to have that time with him. Tomorrow he starts his radiation treatment. It all begins tomorrow.
My parents are in Australia and I am so glad for them that they are able to do this trip. They’ve been waiting a long time to go to Australia and it sounds like they’re having a great time.
I hope to see a few friends over the next few weeks and I’m going to see family throughout. This is a great opportunity for me in many ways, on many fronts. There are a lot of emotions about a lot of different things I’m working through that I didn’t see coming. But I wouldn’t trade this time for anything in the world.
Until next time.
Hi! ::hugs::
Reading your last couple of posts…. Let me just say I feel ya. I hope you’re feeling OK–love to you.
A new day it is. If I haven’t yet sent you this link you should watch this video. It makes you realize that whatever crap we are going through we are totally and utterly blessed every day that we live where we do.

It has inspired me to stop living in ignorant bliss and get off my a** to do something. Even a small act can make a difference.
Love you lots.

What are blogs for if not outlets…sometimes creative, sometimes emotional…we’re all human and it’s cheaper than therapy (I haven’t seen that line used online in a while…and it still kinda sounds dorky, but it’s true…)
I wish you lots of luck. It’s a new lunar year (year of the Ox) and though I’m not Asian except maybe in the way way way fertile crescent age of my ancestors, it’s nice to know this year is all about the calm and sturdy nature of the Ox. And if all else fails, Chamomile tea works for me on the “it’s too much and I need to chill” moments…
Hi Sweetie,
I think of you so often, as you wouldn’t know it, but I do. You are my twin— well, I think so. And I don’t believe that is a bad thing, not at all. I do check your blog every week.
I think your writings are absolutely wonderful. The good, bad or ugly they are great writings. I only wish I could write my thoughts, feelings, idea’s like you. I would be happy to write half as well as you. You have so many talents my dear niece and I can see so many of them. I can only imagine the one’s I haven’t seen. God has given you so much, so much talent, good looks, kindness, common sense, etc … In other words you have the whole package.
Bad days are needed in life to understand how wonderful the good days are. Bad days are needed in life to make us grow as a person, to teach us something. Tho I know, I suspect that you know all of this.
As always, I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.
With lots of love to you.
Be safe, be happy and be healthy always.
